The issue they have is, Trump can't win with just his base. He needs to appeal to at least some percentage of voters outside of that group. It seems like he's been doing everything he can to push anyone who isn't already all in on him away since Biden stepped down.

They aren't worried about alienating his base. They don't want to galvanize hers.

They don't care if he says it. They just care if he gets caught saying it. Big distinction. They know their candidate is a racist shit bag.

"That is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala, and it's not how the campaign would characterize her."

The most interesting thing about this statement is they have set Trump up to fail. Because you know he's going to say that into a microphone at some point during this campaign.

"It's ok. He says negative things about a lot of people."

This is the excuse I got when I pointed out video of TFG mocking the disabled reporter to a die-hard Trumper. Also, she has a kid with Downs. Still didn't break the Trump spell over her. She used to be normal.

He actually called her a bitch though, right?

But, you know, the couch fucker thing is over the line.

Everybody knows you have to be black for a minimum amount of time before being called the N-word.

I would also accept Elton John's The Bitch is Back

That might be too badass.

FUCK YES SHE SHOULD.

I wouldn't take that bet even if you changed it to 5 days.

Seriously what’s with the spelling of the nicknames lol that seems new for him but now he does it all the time

Probably yes, and I don't necessarily blame them, everyone has to blow off steam

But the choice of language is worth considering

Maybe I'm more politically correct than I like to give myself credit for, but I curse like a sailor, and I still don't tend to call anyone a bitch, male or female. I'll call them a asshole, moron, idiot, motherfucker, piece of shit, lazy, a fascist loofah-faced shit-gibbon, worthless low-down good-for-nothing greedy bastard, waste of space/oxygen/carbon, dirtbag, sleazeball, whiney, shit-head, coward, dumbass, creep, weirdo, pervert, dumb, two-faced, spineless, and countless other insults, they're all on the table, and I'll wish all kinds of unpleasantness on them up to and including death.

But bitch (and also cunt) is kind of an inherently gendered insult. I don't consider being a woman to be a bad thing, so I don't use those words, even behind closed doors. Same way I don't use slurs against LGBTQ people, different races and ethnicities, people with disabilities, etc. those don't ring true to me as insults so I don't use them as insults.

And I think the fact he does use that kind of insult shows a lot about how he thinks.

At his Mar-a-Lago news conference on Thursday, he asserted Harris is "not smart enough to do a news conference."

Oh, I'm sure he has plenty of other disgusting, misogynistic terms.
